Server hardware is well supported though. To be honest, anecdotally I've found desktop hardware to be pretty well supported too. Not to the level where you'd use it for gaming (gaming software support aside), but for general use it's a usable desktop. In fact I seem to recall FreeBSD working better with WiFi than Linux did, back when WiFi support in Linux was relatively new and often required using a userspace wrapper around Windows binaries.
Obviously there's always room for improvement and people's experiences often differ, but I've honestly had no major issues with hardware support in the ~15 years I've been running FreeBSD.
